Tune: "Belive Me, If All Those Endearing Young Charms
ST. MARY'S ! Wherever thy (laughters may he
They love they high praise to sing,
And to tell of thy beauties of campus and tree
Around which sweet memories cling;
They may wander afar ; out of reach of thy name
Afar out of sight of thy grove,
But the thought of Saint Mary's aye kindles a flame
Of sweet recollections and love.
■ 5£ji .
Beloved Saint Mary's ! How great is our debt !
Thou hast cared for thy daughters full well ;
They can never thy happy instructions forget,
ISTor fail of thy virtues to tell.
The love that they feel is a heritage pure ;
An experience wholesome and sweet.
Through fast rolling years it will grow and endure
Be a lamp and a guide to their feet.
May the future unite all the good of the past
With the best that new knowledge can bring.
Ever onward and upward thy course! to the last
Be thou steadfast in every good thing.
Generations to come may thy fair daughters still
Fondly think on thy halls and thy grove,
And carry thy teachings o'er woodland and hill
Of earnestness, wisdom and love.

And as our Knowledge Path we tread
Comes one we'll love forever,
Miss Holt, our Academic Head,
Capable, sweet and clever.
Mr. Stone is next in line,
Whom any day j'ou'll see,
Whether it be rain or shine
With hikers full of glee.

While often to the country links

Our English teacher, Miss Agee,
Loves themes to make us write,
And oft the midnight oil burn we
Studying Bible with our might.
Miss Riley and her Science M
Cause much distress and worry
And clear across the campus, gym
Puts one in quite a hurry,
And here Miss Houchcn reigns o'er all
In dancing, swimming, basketball.
The rest are much the same as these.

Isn't it funny how srimeipeople can just
do things? Well. Fannie 1 i's one of them.
Knowing her capability we expect
it of her. Although Fannie is a "woman
of few words" she is very active with her
actions, and does the right thing just
at the right time. That is an art Chat
all of us envy her for and for which
we would be glad to swap our best virtue.
Fannie, being conscientious, hardworking,
sincere and a real girl is an ideal

"I'd give my last cent for 'Boots'
Badham's head" — how often that has been
said at Saint Mary's! "Boots" is lots
of fun. Even if you are a grouchy old
fellow and peculiar you can't help liking
her. "Boots" enjoys a good time — that's
certain — but she can get that fuzzy head
in a book and she does do that thing,
too.
We have always heard that ministers
do the correct thing — yet we can't help
having a hard feeling toward Mr. Barber
because he is always too prompt about
getting Lib away from us. Anyway, she
has found time to make us all think that
she is a versatile, attractive girl. Lib
has helped the long, boring hours in class
to go quickly because o£ the amusing
points of argument that she can think of,
which make us wonder why that thought
did not come to us first.

ever stop giggling? We hope not, lor
it's such a happy sound to all of us who

either. In Peggy we have a dependable,

Peggy's temper is under a mass of red

control. Peggy has been a hard worker

Margaret seems always "striving to
please," and that's what she_-do.es. When
we others are, complaining, grumbling,
and everything's going dead wrong— take
a look at Margaret and , follow that "I
won't-be-disagreeable" way she has. She
is an ever-present proof that one can be
gay and yet not noisy. She goes quietly
about her work. If the other thirty-five
seniors were like her the proctors would
be fired, and what a peaceful abode Sen

We envy "Makey" for her style, her dis-

with people. There are always some girls
whom we just naturally like to be around,
and "Makey" is one of those to whom

Three years ago Stella left her happy
home and came to Saint Mary's. The
next two years she pursued her education
in South Carolina. In 1926 Stella realized
that there was no place like Saint Mary's
and she came to take a diploma home -
with her. We are all so happy that Stell
did come back and proud of the most
striking looking girl at Saint Mary's and
one possessing so striking a personality.
Foil should experience those wild thrills of
joy 'when Stella plays the piano in the
parlor and you should see the Mus
frown when they see Stella with the
basketball, for it means a victory for the

Here's to Mary Hunter, . just the girl
who will make good at anything! Mary
Hunter has real dramatic ability which
has helped to make every play a success
since she first came to Saint Mary's. We
are afraid to think of a dramatic club
without her. She is serious, but never
too long at a time, for that dignity is
bound to give way to the overpowering
fun that is in Mary. She also has the
looks which should have been divided
among some of the rest of us. Mary is
generous enough to divide this beauty,
too, if it were possible. That is just her
character.

Helen may be slow in saying what she
has to say, but you may be sure she is
saying something worth while. After a

has to be passed on, for she tells every

Yes, that Olzie, but although tripping the
light fantastic holds strong appeal for her,
Olzie is not without her serious side as
well. "I'm going to graduate!" has been
her cry, and forthwith she has become a
veritable storehouse of facts, gleaned
from diligent study. Olzie can state
her opinion on anything from capital
punishment to fried potatoes with equal
conviction and with it all we have found
true and generous friend.

have become of the little Chapel this
year if Sallie had not been here. We also
want to thank Sallie for her frankness
in class when as our spokesman she
has said the right thing to advance the
argument. We have marveled then and
hated our shyness. Whenever we think of

Class Poem
There's a sadness that pulls at the heart strings,
There's a gladness that fills all the soul,
With the sorrow that comes at our parting-
Is a joy in reaching the goal.
How the hours have flown since we came here !
Though we counted them each with a sigh,
Their echoes now vibrantly ringing
Can never grow fainter or die.
As we go forth to form the next stanza
Of our life poem now just begun,
We'll find inspiration and courage
In this first battle hard fought but won !
Farewell then, our dear Alma Mater !
Farewell honored school of our youth !
Your name will bring back to us always
The thought of thy love, strength and truth.
Rebekah Waddell.
Class History
V
1 a.m.
November 19, 1932.
Dearest Virginia: I just got back from the theater and I simply cannot resist telling
you right away about what I saw.
The entertainment was called "L* histoire de la Classe de 1927," by Helen Dortch!
Isn't it thrilling that our class has inspired an authoress to write a play? But let me
tell you all about it.
You see, each act represented a year in our class's school life. Of course, just incidents
characteristic of famous episodes in the Class's history were interwoven in the plot.
The first scene showed fifty-four awkward, bewildered Freshmen arriving at school,
being met by Miss Morgan, welcomed by Mr. Way, matriculating under Miss Turner's
supervision, and being miserably homesick all the time! The rest of the scene of
this act recalled happier memories — the election of "Scottie" as class president and Miss
Force as adviser; getting into a scrape by dessing "tacky" for Chapel; going home
for Christmas and Spring holidays; watching with round eyes the awesome event of
graduation; singing lustily to the Seniors.
In Act 2, a distinct advance in character development was noticed. (Ahem! —
doesn't the above sentence remind you of English N?) No longer did the actresses
register "greenness"; instead, "savoir-faire" might better characterize their attitude.
Oh, the joy of being an old girl! Quite enthusiastically Louise Allen was elected class
president and Miss Houchen adviser; under the leadership of these two, the Sophomores
passed a happy year — a year in which such events as the Halloween party, Colonial ball
and Class parties were thoroughly enjoyed. This act closed with the class song to the
Seniors.
Intermission
I thought the third act would never begin! Of course I could hardly wait to see us
as Juniors. The first scene gave the most characteristic impression of the Juniors.
We were giving a tea to make money for the Junior-Senior banquet! "Thig" as treasurer,
and you, Virginia, as president, were represented as beaming joyfully over the healthy
condition of the money box.
Next we were shown enjoying our privilege of going down town unchaperoned, studying
in our room, and finally, strutting off to the Banquet — luxuriously dining in the "Sir
Walter" "ballroom. The last scene held a note of sadness. We took part in the step
singing and serenade for the first time. We registered a half-proud, half-sad attitude at
the thought of taking the Seniors' places. Then came the making of the daisy chain
for the out-going class. And our farewell song —
"Remember
Though we drift apart in years to come
Our thoughts will return to this our home,
St. Mary's, then we'll remember."
For the last act, Act 4, the curtain went up slowly, Seniors! There we all were —
Fannie Aiken as president, Mr. Stone, our sponsor. Miss Houchen our adviser — and the
class — 'thirty-seven of us. We lived in Senior Hall and the Rock; we chaperoned; we sat
in the back of the Chapel; we gave the Christmas play. "The Perfect Gift." and the
Christmas tree; we sang carols; we felt "big."
Then the last half of the year came bringing with it the Banquet, with us the
honored guests; it brought Easter and the realization that this was our last Easter at
Saint Mary's; Exams came — we passed them. Then capped and gowned we sallied forth
to the school party; and suddenly Class Day was upon us, with its symbol — the daisy
chain and its song: "Goodbye School, We're Through." Last but not least was the final
graduation scene. In the Chapel, we received our diplomas from Bishop Cheshire. Then,
misty-eyed, we marched forth as the choir sang "Jerusalem. High Tower." From the
Chapel we threaded our way to the front of Smedes Hall, and there amid a breathless
hush heard these momentous words spoken:
"The S5th session of Saint Mary's School is now closed. School is dismissed!"
Will you ever forget it all — the joy and the sadness!
Well, good-night, fellow alumna!
Heaps of love, Mela.

Class Prophecy
TWENTY years have elapsed since I bid my classmates "good-bye," and left them at
Saint Mary's. It seems as though it were yesterday that we parted, each one to
go out into the world lor herself — with the aim of making it better because we had
lived in it.
Yearning to see some of my classmates again and to gain some knowledge of my
friends I decided to lease my studio and leave my painting awhile. With my meager
funds, I bought a mosquito aeroplane and started out on my journey.
I had hardly left Brooklyn when I heard the terrible roar of a high-powered plane
above me. As I kept mounting* I noticed that it was a taxi-plane, piloted by no other
than Olzie Rodman. She had gone to New York to "try out" for the stage. The high
cost of living proved too much for her, and doing this was much more thrilling — the
salary was quite attractive, too. Olzie told me that she piloted home in three hours
(her plane traveled 200 miles an hour) the last week-end and found many of the girls
were still in North Carolina.
Ethel Shelton, although happily married, but preferring woman's rights, was con-
ducting a campaign for her widowed sister, A. P. Shelton, who was running for mayor
of Speed, and they had chartered Olzie's plane to distribute their pamphlets, as Speed
had grown so large it took quite a time to cover it.
Elizabeth Barber had become a prominent lawyer — her arguments were being spread
far and wide, causing men lawyers to feel their insignificance. If Mr. Stone could only
hear her now! ! !
I was also very glad to hear from my friend that Virginia Evans had become a
Grand Opera singer and had refused many suitors to pursue her career which had
proved a most brilliant one.
Louise Joyner was Dean of Students, but Olzie said that Mr. Way was thinking of
ridding the school of her as she had acquired too much spirit of the age. She wanted
each girl to have her own aeroplane at school and to cut down the lovely "grove of
stately oak trees" for landing places.
Our parking limit, on one of the skyscrapers, was up, so Olzie and I had to take leave
of each other. But the news was delightful.
Having some affairs in New York, I decided I had better land before the airway
became too congested. As I drew near the landing place, I was blinded by countless
lights. Hurrying down to the street to read the sign I was astounded to see "Trotter-
Muse Co.," here tonight. They had joined Keith's!! I gave up my plans for the night
immediately, to see them. When the curtain went up, I had expected to see two women,
but instead I saw two, seemingly girls, although their hair was of a different hue I
recognized their features. They were a great success, their youth was very well preserved
as well as their jovial dispositions. I afterward read they had signed a contract to play
on Broadway for three years.
As I ascended to my mooring I noticed a bill-board stating that a coming attraction
was "Hamlet" starring the "Genevieve Hamper" of modern drama— Mary Hunter Cross.
Would not Miss Davis be consoled to know of the success of one of her pupils? I walked
back down to glance at the bill-board and most of all to look at that old familiar face
once more.
I had hardly gone two steps from the theatre, when I met Mary Read — or I should
say, President Mary Read — not changed in appearance but in position and intellect.
She had lately been chosen President of Bryn Mawr, the youngest president to hold
the chair, so I was greatlv honored to shake the band of this distinguished ex-classmate.
She told me that Sallie Lancaster became interested in Missions and' after hearing for
many years of the wonders of Anvik, had given her life to the worthy cause.
As I came next into Richmond, I was amazed to see how it had grown, since I last saw
it, while riding through on a train. Trains! the very idea of us riding on those slow
motion things. They were fast passing into fancy and legend.
,
1™
I decided to land, as I had heard Annie Louise Evans had married a young clergyman
and was living there. I found her quite easily, as I landed on the outskirts of the
parish house grounds. She had matured into a beautiful matron and had several at-
tractive children. I learned from her that Elizabeth Cauthen had spurned many a
suitor and was now a nun in a convent in Europe.
She also said that Alice Acton was taking Paris by storm, with her interpretative
dancing, far surpassing Irene Castle and other great dancers of my day.
I proceeded on to Georgia as Raleigh had prohibited mosquito aeroplanes landing
within the city limits.
I had hardly arrived in Georgia, when I saw several real estate billboards, announcing
a St. Simon's Estate for sale, it being the estate of Mrs. James Sinkler. I immediately
inquired as to who this woman was. I found out that she was the daughter of the
former Mr. Frank Aiken. It was Fannie! Our class president was still reigning and
owned a great deal of property — but that pest — namely the rat, had taken possession
of the island, so she was selling her estate and sojourning in Algiers for a while as
her husband was frail and had need of such a climate.
I here learned that Joyce Broadhurst had for many years disputed between two
gallant gentlemen and a single life — deciding finally to choose the single life. She was
living in Athens, Georgia, and entertaining nightly for either the University boys or the
Lucy Cobb girls.
Fannie told me that Frances Marriner, being so talented in journalism had become
editor of the "Illustrated New Bern News" and was living in perfect bliss. She was
receiving all kinds of mail from boards and editors begging her to come to them but she
was very staunch and true to North Carolina and would not be lured by lucre.
Alice Cason was now Mrs. Walter Napier, and one of the leading social leaders of the
South, as well as a perfect hostess. Fannie said she was doing her duty by getting the
present St. Mary's girls out every week-end.
While in Atlanta I came upon Margaret Carlton and her husband, a love that was
not known to me during our schooldays. They were just going to see about getting their
boys an aeroplane to take back to college. From Margaret, I learned that "Boots"
Badham had just retired from the movies after a brilliant career — bringing as her
reward John Burke, also a noted screen star, who had played as her leading man for
quite a while.
At the same time I learned that Laura Owens was a figure head in the Metropolitan
Opera Company. She had been discovered by Marion Talley, while listening to her chant
prayers in church. She had made triumphal tours all through Europe and was greeted
everywhere with great enthusiasm.
I had hardly left Georgia when I was forced down by a mechanical mishap. However
I was glad it happened as it did, for at the repair station, I met Helen Doar, Stella
Wolfe, "Snooks" Macdonald and Lib Mathis. They had brought Woolworth's chain of five
and ten cents stores, and from their vast earnings were traveling de luxe all over the
country. They were now going to Cuba and they were quite indignant with Helen Doar
as she had made them break their non-stop flight to Cuba, by having to give her husband
a few instructions about keeping the home straight and such domestic duties as he had
to perform in his wife's absence.
Stella Wolfe told me that Peggy Burckmyer had outdone Lord Byron, by swimming
the Hellespont. I was very glad to hear this as it gave a great deal of credit to our
old pool at St. Mary's, where as a girl Peggy had trained faithfully. Frances Brown
had established a Saint Mary's abroad. She had left her charges and gone a great dis-
tance, especially to see her ex-classmate perform this miraculous feat. This foursome
also told me to stop in Washington to see Helen Dortch. I told them I would do so and
with one more farewell took my leave.
I came upon Dr. Dortch in her office, still as enthusiastic about life as ever, and still
experimenting each day on the cure for heart trouble which had in its first stage done
untold wonders for those afflicted with this disease.
Just as I was departing a rather small person with three squawking children came into
Dr. Dortch's office. All I remember is that I heard the weary mother say to one;
"Murray, I am going to spank you hard when we get home if you do not behave."
Fifty
With one bound I was back in the office, with nothing but arms waving about me,
and embracing my old roommate, the former Martha Thigpen. She had married a
congressman from North Carolina and was now residing in Washington, D. C. I stayed
in the city three weeks — mostly reminiscing— and also enjoying the tenderness and
beautiful atmosphere that this household created. I broke- away with great difficulty
and on the last day of the third week — climbed into my "mosquito" and piloted away.
1 was mounting higher every minute when I came upon a dining plane just emerging
from behind a cloud. Feeling that the pangs of hunger were upon me, I blew my horn
and hailed the plane. When I beheld the clever little tea shop and most of all when
I saw Mary Thurman seated at the cash register, I completely forgot my hunger. She
had a quite artistic shop and the leverest parachutes to drop 1 food to the travelers
that did not have time to land.
While coasting along side by side, Mary told me that Mela Royall had taken Miss
Houchen's place, (in fact she had been filling this position for some time) and she
had gained great notoriety lately as she was the first "gym" teacher to introduce the
Florence Matthews' reducing record — a great improvement over the Wallace records and
also much more suitable. I also learned from her, that Sallie Satterthwaite had gained
such great knowledge from our college Economics that she had independently started a
factory, manufacturing aeroplane propellers, and was worth quite a fortune.
These few pleasant moments were soon over and my thoughts were now turning
toward my own pursuits, which had been sadly neglected within the last year.
Upon returning to my studio I found a book awaiting me. I was overjoyed when I
found that it was a new work of the famous duo, Waddell and Harris, on "The
Psychological Study of a St. Mary's Girl of Twenty Years Ago." They had published
other books on current events that were greatly valued by critics.
Although I have been back at my studio for a month, I am still lost in the fond
memories of my tour and of days of long ago, when we were all sweet girl graduates at
Saint Mary's!

Last Will and Testament of Class of 1927
WE, the Senior Class of Saint Mary's School in the city of Raleigh, the county of
Wake, and the State of North Carolina, having plumed our wings for flight,
relative to our departure from this favored clime, do realize the certainty of examinations
and the dreadful uncertainty which accompanies all such ordeals. Fearing that our
present sanity may be conspicuously disturbed by said ordeal, we do deliberately set
forth this document, bestowing our valued possessions, both material and intellectual,
on those, some of whose faces we shall soon see for the last time, but whose memories
we shall long cherish.
Article 1. I, Fannie Aiken, do will and bequeath to the future Senior President my
unparalleled ability to hold peaceful and orderly meetings in Senior Hall, hoping that she
may emerge from similar meetings with as much sobriety as has been my custom.
Art. 2. I, Mela Royall, am equally as proud of my soothing influence in our memor-
able student body meetings, and I do will this undoubted ability to the next student
body president. Advice as to maintaining discipline, I could give, but this would
be useless without the effective aid which can best be obtained from a rolling pin
factory.
Art. 3. We, Rebekah Waddell and Laura Owens, do leave the Ouija board, owned by
our roommate, Martha Jones, to any person who is desirous of attracting a mob to her
room and who feels it necessary to peer into the perils of her future.
Art. 4. I, Virginia Evans, do hopefully bequeath to any fortunate successor my habit
of maintaining a musical atmosphere in Senior Hall at all or any hours.
Art. 5. I, Peggy Burckmyer, do joyfully bequeath my notable "line" for extracting
ads for the Stage Coach to whoever allows herself to be imposed upon next year.
Never take "No" for an answer though they have that indomitable glare.
Art. 6. We, Edna Faust Harris and Helen Badham, do recommend to next year's oc-
cupants our room for its excellent situation, especially when Mr. Tucker sees fit to tune
in on the radio.
Art. 7. We, as a class, do hereby leave to Josephine Battle our sage advice to sit on the
front seat in Bible N and win A's by giving vent to her bursts of merriment at appro-
priate moments.
Art. S. I, Elizabeth Barber, do reluctantly will to Ree Garrett my readiness at all
times to start an argument and to maintain my point of view throughout Mr. Stone's
classes.
Art. 9. I, Louise Joyner, do will to Polly Parrott my renowned volubility.
Art. 10. We, Jennie Trotter and Jonnie Muse (the Damon and Pythias of the class),
do will to Elizabeth Smith and Elizabeth Hoggard our unexcelled genius for delighting
the several members of the faculty in East Rock with the advice that they acquire a
perpetually grinding victrola.
Art. 11. I, Frances Marriner, do will my indefatigable energy to next year's editor
of the Stage Coach. This energy will be found useful in keeping her many appoint-
ments down town and in inveigling others to go down and have their pictures taken.
"
Fifty-two
Art. 12. I, Sallie Satterthwaite, do bequeath to Helen Andrus my unprecedented use
of the E. A. P. presidential robes and my red-haired flapper doll. May she never have a
qualm in enacting my epoch-making deed.
Art. 13. I, Helen Badham, do leave my patented curling irons to Phoebe Harding
with the hopes that she will be as successful with them as I have been.
Aim. 14. I, Laura Macdonald, do unhesitatingly bequeath my victrola to the occupants
of lower Senior Hall of next year, with the wish that they reinstate it to its former
glory.
Art. 15. I, Florence Matthews, do leave to Elizabeth Reitzel my successful but secret
recipe for reducing.
Art. 16. I, Mary Hunter Cross, do leave my declamatory ability, renowned from
class room and stage to the far corners of Senior Hall, to Katherine Duff. Take my advice
Kack, and do not endanger yourself by practicing in Senior Hall!
Art. 17. I, Jennie Trotter, do solemnly will to Sarah Falkner my scholarly diligence
and resolution, in the waning hope that she may absorb enough to make a name in the
annals of St. Mary's.
Art. 18. I, Olzie Rodman, do will my mouse-like silence in chapel to Julia Pugh, in
hopes that she may learn to follow my golden example and look never to the rear.
Remember, Julia, this applies on Sunday afternoons!
Art. 19. I, Edna Faust Harris, do will and bequeath to the class of '2S my prize
possession, the apple of my eye, over which I have wrung my hands and labored — my Bible
notebook! I say with Pharisee-like pride, it excels all other donations in value, volume
and veracity.
Art. 20. I, Genevieve Dando, do unselfishly will to Sarah Evins my unsurpassed rec-
ord of promptitude. I feel that, of my bountiful merits, others can be left profitably to
those less blest than I. With this noble thought in mind I bequeath to Rosa King
Metcalf my unexcelled leadership in gym. I lead where no one follows.
Art. 21. We, all members of the class, do sympathetically leave to the long-suffering
faculty the hopes of a more brilliant class for 1928.
As the supply of our possessions is exhausted, we leave with all what we will always
retain — our love for Saint Mary's and best wishes for its future.

Sonnet to an Inkwell
(Winning Poem in Inter-society Contest)
A jet-black chrysalis of unformed thought,
And life within, whose Stygian fluid holds
Reality, which from the Dream is wrought.
What stripes or marks of power its girth enfolds
Until the clam disturbed and long sleep broken,
Lie waiting mastery by human mind —
Thought's butterfly impaled on pen, a token
Of quivering, poised conceits vouchsafed mankind.
By you, the fleeting, transitory mood
Of my ephemeral whim is swiftly changed,
Is startled from its latent lassitude
And gayly garbed or primly rearranged;
Magician Mother, through your butterflies
New worlds resplendent skim before my eyes.

THE small swinging lamp swayed fitfully with the lurching of the vessel. Its smoky
rays flickered now and then to a far corner of the hold, and played over a huddled
mass cowering there. Then a more pronounced lurch and the lamp light caught the
outline of two human figures lying prostrate upon the rough flooring. The first was
bared to the waist, and gave the appearance of a common sailor. The other, in the
garb of an Anglican priest, was the taller of the two and, in spite of the cramped
position in which he lay, his face seemed strangely placid.
A hideous roll of the vessel flung the figures far to the center of the ship. There was
a sound of dragging chains. The lamp flared up for an instant. A glimmer of light
veered, and shot back. In that time the ankles of both men were seen, fettered by
heavy rings to the side of the hold.
A tortured groan came from the swollen and darkening lips of the half nude figure.
"A friend! — this Black Baird, with his traitorous flag, his damnable strength." He
turned desparingly to his companion. "Sir, what think you has befallen our friends?
So near to Bath, and then — disaster! The skirmish was so short. I can remember
nothing after I saw the demon swarm over our ship's sides. There was blow, and only
crashing, thundering blackness. Master Hunt, could any of the men have escaped
with their lives or did they go down with the ship?"
The flickering lamp swung toward them again and swayed back, leaving hot, black
darkness. Out of that darkness came the even voice of the minister.
"Would that I could tell thee, my son, but I am less skilled than thou in the matters
of the waves. This only do I know, that within God's keeping, all that believe in Him
shall be safe, — even so you and L He will strengthen us."
They fell silent, each lost in his own thoughts of the cheerless prospect before cap-
tives on a pirate ship. They had no means of knowing, except as the rolling of the
ship increased, that sailing down the Pamlico, they had reached the tough sound. The
creaking of the sails and far away cry of the drunken sailors scarcely reached the hot,
close "prison of the captives. Sleep seemed impossible; yet physical fatigue and the ex-
cessive heat brought a semi-torpor upon the two men.
Quite suddenly the minister was roused by the noise of the hatch sliding back. A
draft of salt, cold air swept clear his brain, and he raised himself on his elbow. Then
it was that he saw Baird, coming uncertainly down the rope ladder, lowered into the
hold. He was close followed by two other rascals, and the trio seemed intent upon
search for something. Master Hunt half suspected that, already under the influence
of liquor, they sought a new supply among the plundered casks from the other ship.
Nor was he far wrong. Baffled in their search the men became more and more angry,
but one groped in the darkness away from his companions and down to the part of
the hold where the prisoners lay. The minister by the breadth and height of the
looming figure made out, with his dark-accustomed eyes, that this was Baird, himself.
Advancing, with his lurching gait, Baird abruptly stumbled over the two shackled men.
A hideous torrent of abuse twisted the cruel mouth. His companions hastened toward
him carrying the lanthorn.
"Dogs of the gutter," snarled Baird down upon the bound minister, "Wait till I
have taught ye something more than to lie snivelling like a cur. Ye'll hear no more
of the milksop of a God ye were a-praying to this morning afore we overhauled your ship.
Ye'll be glad enough for the God Baird'll be to ye! A parson," — with a wink at his
companions— "loves a full paunch more than any plunge into the sea, I've always found!
Yes, ye'll forget your twaddle of a God all right, and now — ."
But something in the tense face of the clergyman stopped his flow of words. The
light of the place, imperfect as it was, showed a pale, imperious composure on the
minister's face. Only his eyes burned out from their sockets like scorching flames.
"V
Eiffhty-six
"Mind, man what thou sayest!"
The voice was low pitched, hut it fell upon the group like pelting stones. The minis-
ter's companion, half afraid, looked toward him.
"And mark ye this, infidel. The God of my fathers never deserts his faithful people.
But His vials of wrath are swift outpoured upon those who defile His Holy Name;
those who mock Him. Before thou hear the cock crow, thy sins will be visited
upon thee. Remember that well, for God hath spoken through me, his servant."
During the passionate speech Baird had looked upon the minister with mocking
eyes. "Hear, hear," cried he to his followers. "A prophet come to judge us!"
Scornfully, — "Cock crow — a joke indeed. Why 'tis scarce an hour till dawning, and
upon Pamlico Sound, few cocks venture to greet the day."
The three rocked with appreciation of the evident absurdity of such a prophecy.
Yet in the drunken mirth so different from the first outburst of black anger, it w,as
notable that he who had been chief spokesman, chief scorner. did not join in as freely
as his speech would have warranted. Under the bristling black beard, Baird's face
paled perceptibly. Truly the minister had successfully pierced the armour of a hardened
fighter who stood unflinching before scenes of rawest murder, yet who was wholly
ruled by the clutching tenacles of ignorant superstition. The shadowy, seemingly
impossible threat of swift destruction had possession of him more firmly than the
casual onlooker might have observed.
"We'll leave ye here to your pleasure," Baird at length ground out vindictively.
"I've duties above," and he staggered off, close followed by his sailor companions.
The darkness closed in as the lamp was carried away. The two prisoners looked after
the vanishing figures clambering up through the hatch, which was inadvertantly left
unclosed. Through the aperture, the two prisoners could see the velvet blackness of the
sky fading gradually into the semi-light just preceding dawn. The sailor turned, half
awed by the prophecy of the minister.
"Master Hunt, with what certainty ye spoke just now! Dost truly think that destruc-
tion will come upon Baird before cock crow? or was it merely to frighten the fellow?"
He peered anxiously at the priest.
"I know it," the tall man said calmly.
Simultaneously with the words came a hoarse shout above decks; "A sail, ho! A sail!
Black Baird, who by this time had gained the deck and stood joking a bit forcedly
with one of his men, looked toward where the watch pointed. Surely, a sail there was,
which like a winged phantasy, cut through the soft grey light. Baird struggled for
speech. Coming as the sail had with the words of the minister still ringing in his
ears, they brought on the pirate a sudden nausea foreign to his usual swaggering
bravadocio. The crew standing ready to tack and over-haul the newcomer were start-
lingly taken aback when Baird shouted thickly.
"Clap on all sail. Head for the island!"
The Demon superstition had him in hand. The insane desperate desire to hear the,
cock crow had driven all thought of plunder or fight from the bull's mind. Self-
preservation must be gained at all cost!
It seemed strange, however, that the crew should comply so submissively when it
meant the loss of untold wealth. Perhaps the words of Master Hunt repeated garrulously
by the two companions of Baird to several fellows above decks had impressed the
minds of more than one of the crew more seriously than they cared to believe. Certainly
there was little or no hesitation in running up the sails. Each man at his post apprehen-
sively and zealously strove to keep the ship in the lead. The cove at the mouth of the
island gave a sense of refuge, of security, they did not feel here.
Baird watched the line of land come nearer and nearer. Reach it; hear the cock
crow, and the charm would be dissolved. He could afford then to laugh at his folly
maybe even to sally forth against the unknown vessel. But certainly now, safety. Such
thoughts ran in rapid succession through his mind as he watclied the approaching vessel:
Evidently she had a very grave interest in the pirate ship for still following in her wake
the pursuer crept closer and closer. Suddenly a white spurt of smoke showed above
Eighty-seven

*%&
her deck, and the water near the pirate ship was churned into white foam. Baird
was being fired upon.
The cannon of the pirate ship were hastily being drawn up. It was to be a fight to
the finish. The island showed almost malevolent from its distance. It seemed to
divine that the refuge of its sandy, sparsely inhabitated stretches was being denied
in the hour of need to the man who so absolutely ruled its inhabitants, hand and mouth.
The grey sky was paling. The attacking ship fired again, this time striking Baird's
ship broad side.
"Demons — drive her on — The cove! crow! O crow cock!
The pirate captain's half intelligible gibberings were hardly heeded. The crew in-
stinctively had headed the ship for the island. Every puff of wind must be conserved,
used to urge on the vessel. What few tended the cannon aimed wildly. The crazed
wildness of the captain's behavior had fallen on the crew! The island seemed farther
away than ever — "0 crow, cock." The growing dawn appeared to supply the English
ship with fresh vigor. There was a splintering crash. Every timber of Baird's ship
shivered. Water oozed into the yawning seams and began to trickle down into the hold.
The two prisoners gazed at the rising tide, the sailor grim lipped, fearful-eyed; the
clergyman resolute and stern. They could only wildly conjecture what might be happen-
ing above them. Could it be help and would that help come more swiftly than the dark
streams trickling down the hold's side? Again they were shaken by a heavy impact.
There was a sound of trampling feet upon deck. Men were boarding the ship and through
the open hatch they could make out figures in hand combat. The sailor strained at his
chains in vain. The sea slowly, stealthily crept in until the captives were half covered
with the slimy water. It seemed hours that the awful confusion swept on above them.
Neither prisoner spoke. Words were futile things just then.
Above, the ship's deck swarmed with human figures. The victorious ship lay grap-
pled to the pirate vessel. The Englishmen were fighting with the pirate crew in
conflict short, swift, and deadly. Blood pulsed in long red-black streams from still.
prostrate bodies. Lightening-like play of rapiers, lithe body movements made shocking
contrast with the raw, still Death, and the tortured anguish of the wounded. At the
bow of the vessel where Baird had stood were now two figures fighting like animals.
Baird strangely white, his shock of disheveled black hair standing out wildly. His
opponent tall, quick and muscular, by his dress plainly showed himself to be the captain
of the English boat. Baird breathing heavily lunged fiercely against his enemy. The
captain sidestepped. Fear clutched again at the heart of the pirate. So to Baird not half
sobered from his night's carousal, pressed by a formidable fear the prophecy of the min-
ister recurred again and again like a funeral knell. Baird made the motion that cost
him his life. He turned his rolling, bloodshot eyes from his opponent but a fraction of
a second to glance instinctively toward the island.
"0 Crow, Cock."
The English captain saw his opening and thrust. Baird rolled on the deck like a
leaden thing. The eyes stared, the tongue protruded, it was the end. No, the body
moved. Swiftly the bloody rapier of the watching captain severed the ugly head from
the reddened neck. The head moving with the movement of the ship and rolled under
the splintered railing making a sudden splatter. The captain turned for another victim.
But the worst of the fight was already over. The English had gained a decided victory
and it was necessary that all captives and the wounded be removed to the English ship.
One English sailor fired with desire for discovery peered down with the black hold.
"A capital place for plunder," thought he. Any other thoughts were then struck from
his mind tor he heard a weird cry from below. Calling another sailor the two climbed
down and waded about the hold. There they found the fettered prisoners. It was short
work to free them from the rusty iron bands. Standing deep in water the captives
stretched their cramped, stiff limbs, then strained up the- narrow ladder into the red-
dening morning__and the gory confusion that reigned above decks.
"Master Hunt" criedthe captain and fell upon the minister's neck. "Thanks be. you
live. The men who reached me at Bath were not certain what had become of you."
And they embraced with unembarrassed emotion.

But there was yet more work to be done. Most of the pirates were clamped in irons
upon the English ship, but one poor fellow who had not long to live was placed upon a
pallet spread on the deck that he might have as comfortable a bed as possible. The
English ship had weathered the conflict well, but several minor repairs necessitated
drawing into the near-by cove. Master Hunt's companion was anxious too, for ex-
ploration for Black Baird had fired his imagination with dreams of pirate hoards.
Accordingly the ship was put to port and while workmen repaired her damage a small
party led by the sailor and the minister went ashore.
They found for the most part a desolate enough stretch of land inhabited by two or
three families who eked out their existence upon the small part of the island they had
cultivated. The men were tacturn, answering none of the questions of the strangers
until hearing from the captain of the horrible battle, they broke their silence and
babbled as if they had been freed from some impending doom. Black Baird had truly
ruled them hand and mouth.
The captain looked about with interest at the scrubby vegetation and drab little
houses. "What did Baird call his little kingdom?" he asked a native. But there seemed
to be no real name. Baird's Retreat, the pirates called it, and this was its only name.
"Ho!" quoth the captain. "Then we'll change its name, what say you men?"
Quick as a flash spoke up the sailor. He glanced at the priest. "Let it be "O Crow
Cock! said he and when the remarkable tale had been recounted it was with one accord
that the band agreed on the name.
The hot sun beat down upon the water by the time the exploring party pushed off from
the shore. They found the ship' almost repaired and ready to return to Bath. Clamber-
ing aboard they saw that the sick pirate had been moved under a sheltering tarpaulin
and one of the sailors seeing the priest went swiftly to him.
"Sir, the man is dying. After your departure he lay like one whose spirit is almost
gone. Then suddenly just after he'd been moved to the shade he roused up, pointing
at the water. One of us ran to him but he only babbled incoherently as if in delirium.
We soothed him once, but he soon started up and cried out again. We have tried to
quiet him but cannot. Will, you come. Sir, and see what can be done?
The minister did not hesitate. He reached the sick man's side and took his hands
into his own.
"What troubles you?" The pirate turned upon him, "Black Baird's Head"— tremblingly,
"The Head of Baird! Twice I have seen it float by. His hair strings out behind; his
eyes look toward the island and I have seen his foaming mouth's slow moving. Each
time he cries out, 'Oh, Crow, Cock.' I saw it I tell you." The man's voice rose in a
frightful wail.
The minister attempted to calm the fellow. He spoke softly to him — "Faugh!
Imagination makes cowards of us all. For shame. Thou art a man. Forget the absurd
dream of thy fevered fancy. 'Twas naught went by, in truth."
The even tone, the sincerity of his voice, in some way quieted the sick man. He lay
passive, touched by the finger of suffering. He seemed almost asleep. The minister
turned away for a moment. Then a hoarse cry came from the bed. The man was bolt
upright. His eyes were glued in fright to a part of the water not far from the ship.
"He is there! The cock will not crow. Master. Look! Look! His eyes are stabbing
me — ! With a long drawn shudder the man fell back. The spark of life was gone.
And there were those of the English crew who, following the pointed finger of the man,
swore that they saw the horrible head of Black Baird rolling soddenly upon the waters,
his cruel mouth writhing, twisting, and they said they heard the words, "0 Crow, Cock!"
issue from it. Howbeit others, and the priest among them, claim that it was only the
tri-cornered hat of the captain who discovered it to be missing several hours later.
Yet, even today the natives recount this legend, pointing as a proof of its truth to IJie..

np HE Sigma Lambda and Epsilon Alpha Pi Literary Societies maintain interest and
A spirit in their activities by frequent contests arranged during the year. A feeling
of friendly rivalry is created by the competition thus afforded. The annual contests count
towards the winning of a trophy. Each contest won brings a certain number of points
to its society. They are as follows:
Model meeting 15
Debate 30
Short Story 10
Essay 10
Poetry 1U
The Model Meeting is composed of a business part and program. The business meet-
ing is judged primarily by the merits of its Parliamentary proceedings; the program
by its literary interest and execution. The debates are strictly formal discussions of
some current topic. Two speakers from each side are chosen, the two-man rebuttle
being used. One original short story, essay, and poem are submitted annually by each
society to a competent judge. These complete the inter-society contests.

Grandma Was the Cause
My grandma came to Saint Mary's
Way back there in '62,
And how she told of those good times
Made me wish I'd been there too.
She said that this dear Saint Mary's
Was indeed a school of Saints,
They never did anything naughty
Nor thought of using paint.
Now Grandma came in a Stage Coach,
Girls met her at Smedes broad steps,
Oh, Grandma's friends were all so good
That none of them had "reps."
My Grandma finished Saint Mary's;
In her steps then came others,
Along with all those dear, sweet girls
To Saint Mary's came my mother.
Now mother is just like grandma
There's no place like that dear school!
She said, "To Saint Mary's you will go
To study hard and obey every rule."
And when I was a girl of sixteen years
In a big auto I came,
To learn to love Saint Mary's
But things were not so tame!
I couldn't see any of those Saints
And I was homesick too,
I wanted to get back to mama
For I was oh, so blue!
Of course, I'll rave to my children
And say I loved it so.
And I'll send them in an airplane
They'll love it too, I know!

Into red obscurity.
Resistless our team sweeps goal ward
With the fury of our might.
We'll fight for the name of Mu Team
Till we win the game tonight.

For the Sigma, girls can surely play basketball,
We've got the forwards, guards and centers, too-
And we'll surely make those Mus look blue —

The best in special ways.
Here's "Jonnie" Most Original,
Most Magnetic and again
Her Popularity's merited —
For she's everybody's friend.
There's Dando Most Attractive;
Most Striking Stella too.
Without Marriner's Capability
What would the Stage Coach do?
"Mary Dick's" Most Lovable.
Louise the Honor Pride.

And Best All Pound beside.

When e'er there's call for dancing.
"Piatt" leads "Phoebe" on the floor.
"Marg's" the Most Athletic
Simply watch those Sigma's score!
So thus is placed before you
Those traits worth honor due ;
Altogether they would go to make
The Saint Mary's Ideal, true!

Why Girls Leave School
"Mittie under the radiator;
Don't wear ear rings — they're vulgar
Louise on her knees in the hall.
Don*t wear loud son, its rude;
Wonder what they're doing 7
Don't chew gum in public —
— The Australian Crawl)
Even in private its crude.
Polly behind the dresser;
Don't talk coins to chapel,
"Lynke" underneath the bed.
Don't whisper when you ge( in ;
What on earth are they doing?
Don't talk loud in the dining room —
— Hunting something that's dead?
Any of this would be sin.
Annie Gray in the closet;
"Teeny" up on the shelf;
"Makey" pounds the floor with a broom;
"Marriner" scolds herself.
"Piggie" screams out despairing —
"Z" almost time for the bell;"
Then "Jnnnie" emerges triumphant,
Dragging Jennie as well —
And Miss Cooke and Sutton are breathless.
With awe, when they hear "Jonnie" bawl,
"We can all proceed to chape),
We've found caps for each girl on the hall!"
E. Johnson.
Don't s;o past that tree on the walk;
Don't look at the passers-by ;
Don't yell to the hoys you know —
Just be a lady (and sigh ).
Don't ever walk off the campus;
Don'l no to the "little store";
Don't ever go to the movies —
Such trifles make Mr. Way sore.
You can't even wear red flannels.
Or play the vie after ten.
We'll dOubtlCSS gO 10 Heaven
Bui what'll we do till then.

Stop, Becky, you are pushing it.

I didn't either, I declare
Oh. look what it has said, —
For Phoebe Harding to he sure

And watch, tonight, for strange queer signs

Where u red head villain lies in wait.
Beware of a creaking floor I

And hauled her up before Miss Holt
And told her of the fact.

Acknowledgment
' I M-IE Stage Coach owes its existence to the cooperation of Mr. Way. Miss
A Alberston, Miss Katie and Miss Sutton. It owes much to the interest, en-
couragement and help of Miss Holt and to the experience and good advice of Mr.
Tucker. We are very grateful to them.
Mrs. Marriott has been the loyal friend of the Seniors, the school and the Annual.
We could not have done without her.
We wish to thank Miss Holt and Miss Houelien for their assistance in grouping
the pictures.
For art work we wish to thank Emily Hallyburton and Helen Badhani ; for
general help, especially in taking snaps, Sallie Lancaster and Mary Read; for her
willingness and efficient service, our typist, Margaret Godfrey; for the tireless
energy experienced in the "Little Store," the Senior Class; for making the "Little
Store" a success, the school.
We appreciate the interest of the advertisers and we are glad that they realize
the worth of their investment.
And above all, we appreciate the personal interest, the capable direction and
patience of Mr. Beck of Edwards & Broughton Co.
